Projectors & Presenters

Eiki's Notebook Three series portable projectors come with true SGA or SVGA projection capabilities for computer and video images. The Notebook Three series delivers images at a 90 percent uniformity and 350:1 contrast ratio, at an SXGA or SVGA resolution, and in rich three-panel LCD color. In addition to their native resolution, the projectors' smart scaling technology makes them compatible with the next highest input resolution (SXGA or XGA) down to VGA, Mac resolutions and normal and widescreen video in most major standards.

JVC expands its line of visual presenters with its AV-P950, a versatile multimedia presenter that features high-resolution XGA images and three-picture memory, along with USB and RS-232C interfaces. The AV-P950 produces high-resolution XGA images, and can be connected to a projector or a monitor with SVGA or VGA resolution. The USB interface on this model allows presenters to transfer images to a PC for processing. Processed images can then be projected via the AV-P950. The monitor can also act like a 3-D scanner, allowing the presenter to download any image via the USB interface for future projection use in other applications.

Mitsubishi's XL1 and SL1 are the company's first 0.7" LCD-based micro- portable projectors. Both feature 1,000 ANSI lumens of brightness for XGA and SVGA models - the XL1 featuring true XGA with compression for SXGA, the SL1 featuring true SVGA with compression for XGA. Advanced features for the projectors include Mitsubishi's ColorView Natural Color Matrix and sRGB color compliance; IRIS (intelligent room illumination sensor) control, which senses room brightness and adjusts the projector's contrast and image controls to create the best image; and CineView, which transforms and maintains image sharpness for electronic displays.
